The aim of the current study was to investigate the efficacy of an upper-body intermittent sequential pneumatic compression device on recovery after wheelchair team sport activity.
Eleven well-trained wheelchair basketball and rugby athletes (male, 8; female, 3; mean ± SD age = 33 ± 10 yrs) performed a series of performance measures pre-exercise, postexercise, and postrecovery (grip strength, pressure-to-pain threshold, medicine ball throw, wheelchair sprints, repeated sprints). Subjective muscle soreness and fatigue measurements were taken at the same time points as performance tests, with an additional 24-hr postrecovery measure. Participants completed two recovery trials, separated by 1 wk, of either passive recovery (control) or 20 mins of wearing recovery arm sleeves (intermittent sequential pneumatic compression) applied to both arms.
No statistically significant differences were found between trials for any of the performance or perceptual measures (P > 0.05). However, effect size analysis revealed a moderate decrease (d = -0.67) from postexercise to postrecovery for muscle fatigue in favor of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression. A large decrease (d = -0.96) in muscle soreness was also found after exercise to 24 hrs after recovery in favor of intermittent sequential pneumatic compression over control.
Intermittent sequential pneumatic compression may provide some benefit for perceptual recovery measures immediately after and 24 hrs after a high-intensity wheelchair activity with negligible effects on performance recovery.
本研究旨在探讨一种上肢间歇性序贯气动压缩装置对轮椅团队运动后恢复的效果。
11 名训练有素的轮椅篮球和橄榄球运动员(男性 8 名,女性 3 名;平均年龄 ± 标准差为 33 ± 10 岁)在运动前、运动后和恢复后(握力、压痛阈值、药球投掷、轮椅冲刺、重复冲刺)进行了一系列性能测试。在进行性能测试的同时,还进行了主观肌肉酸痛和疲劳测量,并在恢复后 24 小时进行了额外测量。参与者完成了两次恢复试验,间隔 1 周,分别为被动恢复(对照组)或 20 分钟穿戴恢复臂套(间歇性序贯气动压缩),应用于双臂。
在任何性能或感知测量方面,两个试验之间均未发现统计学上的显著差异(P > 0.05)。然而,效应大小分析显示,从运动后到恢复后,肌肉疲劳的中度下降(d = -0.67)有利于间歇性序贯气动压缩。运动后到恢复后 24 小时,肌肉酸痛也出现了较大的下降(d = -0.96),间歇性序贯气动压缩优于对照组。
间歇性序贯气动压缩可能会在高强度轮椅活动后立即和 24 小时后对感知恢复测量提供一些益处,对性能恢复的影响可以忽略不计。
